How often does pullapart have a 5.0? lol never! They do have some good deals, They had a few supercoupes that I was going to pull the superchargers off and they charged like 38 bucks for them, came back next day w/ tools to get them and all 3 were gone!!!

I've been to pull-a-part at least 6 times this year and every time I have seen at least 2-3 5.0s, and at least one was an HO everytime. You cant just look for mustangs to get engines you want.
 
Go after a roller 5.0 out of a mercury grand marquis or crown victoria. Everything should be the same, but for the cam and intake. If you are going to be upgrading h/c/i anyway, there's no reason not to go after one of these.

Another tip is to look in Lincoln LSC's; they came with the same exact HO engines as the mustangs, but all were speed density v.s. mass air, which makes no difference in regards to the longblock. A lot of the hillbilly's that have yards around here won't let you touch a mustang, but don't bat an eye at you pulling the identical engine out of an LSC.

I've seen V8 stangs at the one in connely but they are normally picked clean.

thats how we find them here too.

i been to woodys a coupe of times and once i found a 5.0 HO in the bacj trunk of a LSC. yeah thats right. in the trunk. i guess someone pulled it and hide it.

pick and pull up here last week had to 5.0 verts there, but a day later when my dad went back just abour everything from them were gone.
 
75 per motor if you pull it, 115 if they do for ya.

The local u-pull yart has TONS of 5.0 HO motors. There are only about 4 5.0 stangs, but they stripped bare, then about 6-7 4 bangers. tons of trucks, exploders (no 5.0 ones) vans, rangers....and a loads of everything else. they get fresh stuff in all the time too which is nice. Sometimes the guys a prick, like today he wanted me to pay 11 bucks per IAC (selling to a friend)...what a rip off when you have 100's in the yard.
